Joyce was a wonderful host! I had a great experience staying on her property and assisting her with daily chores. I really enjoyed the lovely views, little walks, and the yoga room for stretching.

It's hard to find the right words to express my experience with Joyce and Aiden. They are both great, great human beings, the kind of people you are grateful to meet not only in your travels but in life. They are generous, kind, hospitable, warm, humble and welcoming. With them, it is absolutely easy to immediately feel at home.

I really enjoyed my time here, helping out mostly outside in the grounds, as the weather was fantastic. The food and company were excellent throughout my stay and the surrounding countryside and wildlife is a pleasure to wake up to every morning. I wish Joyce and all involved the best of luck for the future!
